Techno has been the new black since before that phrase came into existence. It is a genre that flourishes in the most dank cities and towns across the globe. Detroit and Berlin are it's two capitals but if you observe surrounding areas you're sure to find the echos of this machine music coming from seemingly abandoned buildings. That's where Joachim Spieth and his Affin imprint step in.

Joachim Spieth, has released records on Techno giants like Kompakt, Speicher and Paso Music. He started the Affin imprint a little over a year ago to release his own tracks and those of like-minded producers.

'Presence,' the new compilation from Affin, set for exclusive release on Beatport , March 6th, marks the past ten years of Joachim Spieth's productions since his debut EP release on Kompakt in 1999.

These tracks are brooding and melodic, mesmerizing and slick, the perfect soundtrack to finish off this last month of Winter.
